Re: [Flashforth-devel] Question about running FlashForth on Arduino Diecimila

[Peter C. H. <Pet...@un...>]

Some of the upper bits of the fuse bytes are not actually used, so it does not really matter what is set for those.  However, avrdude reads back all bits after setting them and compares them to what they were supposed to be set as.  If it does not agree an error message is created.  

Apparently at one stage the way avrdude reads back the not used bits was changed.  So, if I remember this correctly, for older versions the lock byte has to be written as FF, but for newer versions of avrdude it has to be 3F, to prevent the error message.  The actual setting is the same. 

Cost me a lot of time….
